The 2015 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup CONMEBOL qualifier, also commonly known as the 2015 South American Beach Soccer Championship, was the sixth Beach Soccer World Cup qualification championship for South America, held from April 19–26 at Playa del Murciélago, in Manta, Ecuador.[1]

The qualifiers were not coordinated by CONMEBOL at the time. The event was organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW), under the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Qualifier title.[2] [3] CONMEBOL reported on the event under the title of South American Beach Soccer Championship.[4] [5] CONMEBOL eventually began organising the qualifiers in 2017, under a new title.

Brazil defeated Paraguay to be crowned champions, and both teams together with third place Argentina qualified for the 2015 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.[6]
